Niu Valley Middle School just updated its list for 2016-2017 school supplies. Kids need to have these for classes, but unlike elementary school, do not need to turn them in on the first day. Rather, they hold on to them to use as instructed and bring as needed.

EastOahu96825 is a website focused on the Hawaii Kai Neighborhood. Articles of interest include nearby free and low-cost events, local fundraisers, Costco shopping, and my trials and tribulations in learning Japanese as a second language.

This site also posts the latest information on my pet project, a once a month plant swap that takes place every 1st Tuesday at Kaiser High School from 4-7pm.
